What is platelet rich fibrin?

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a natural healing material created from your own blood that slowly releases growth factors to support tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. Unlike PRP, PRF forms a fibrin matrix that provides a sustained release of healing proteins for longer-lasting regenerative effects. In oral surgery, PRF is commonly used after extractions, bone grafts, and implant procedures to enhance healing and improve outcomes. At Los Angeles Oral & Facial Surgery, Dr. Tow prepares and applies PRF during your procedure to support healing exactly where it’s needed—without introducing foreign substances.

The benefits of platelet rich fibrin

Faster, natural healing

PRF uses your body’s own growth factors to speed recovery after surgery and support healthy tissue regeneration.

Less swelling and discomfort

By reducing inflammation, PRF can help minimize pain and bruising following procedures like extractions and dental implants.

Better long-term outcomes

PRF supports bone and tissue integration, improving healing quality and helping protect the success of grafts and implants.

The platelet rich plasma fibrin

1

Simple, in-office blood collection

A small amount of your blood is drawn at the start of your visit, similar to a standard laboratory test. This quick process provides the foundation for creating your personalized healing material.

2

Gentle preparation using advanced processing

Your blood is processed in-office using specialized, low-speed centrifugation to isolate platelet-rich fibrin. This preserves healing proteins and creates a natural fibrin matrix that releases growth factors gradually over time.

3

Precise placement at the surgical site

PRF is applied directly to the treatment area during your procedure, whether for extractions, grafting, or implants. This targeted placement supports faster healing exactly where your body needs it most.

4

Ongoing support during recovery

After placement, PRF continues to release natural growth factors for days to weeks. This promotes tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation, and supports smoother recovery.

FAQ's

PRF does not use additives or anticoagulants and forms a natural fibrin matrix. This allows for a slower, longer release of healing proteins compared to PRP, which delivers growth factors more quickly but over a shorter time.

Yes. PRF is made entirely from your own blood, which eliminates the risk of allergic reaction or disease transmission.

Not at all. The blood draw and centrifuge processing take place while you're already being prepped or sedated for surgery. It integrates seamlessly into your treatment without affecting your experience.

I was referred to Dr. Tow by my dentist, and from the moment I stepped into his Beverly Hills office, I felt a sense of calm. The earthy, thoughtfully designed space melts away the usual dental anxiety - it feels more like a peaceful sanctuary than a medical practice. The entire visit was seamless, and the city views from the examination room were an added bonus.

Dr. Tow is the kind of doctor who makes you feel truly seen. He is warm, attentive, and genuinely conversational, with a rare ability to put you at ease without ever seeming rushed. He listened carefully to all of my questions and concerns, then took the time to walk me through every aspect of the procedure in clear, understandable terms. What impressed me most was his patience. I went back and forth on my decision countless times, overthinking every detail, and not once did he make me feel like a burden. He remained calm, supportive, and completely nonjudgmental, encouraging me to take all the time I needed. That level of respect and compassion is something you rarely encounter in healthcare today.

Dr. Tow is not only exceptionally skilled as an oral surgeon, but also someone you can fully trust. He combines top-tier expertise with genuine kindness in a way that transforms a stressful experience into a positive one. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you’re looking for an oral surgeon who treats you like a person, not just a patient, Dr. Tow is the one.

Dr Tow and staff were warm, caring, organized and conscientious.. I came in for a consult after TMJ arthrocentesis to discuss a possible TMJ joint replacement. Dr Tow reviewed my complex history and records, He asked about my personal TMJ experience and listened to my primary concerns. He examined my TMJ joint and related muscle and nerve conditions thoroughly. He explained imaging results and discussed pros and cons of treatment options. He provided resources, education and recommendations that left me with a renewed sense of hope and confidence in his expertise.

I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out and Dr. Tow was incredible! Not only did he do a great job, my favorite thing about his care was the follow up. He let me come in whenever I was worried about how I was recovering and always assured me I was healing in the right way. He really cares about his patients and made me feel so safe, which is so important when getting such a massive surgery. 10/10

 I had a great experience with Dr. Tow and his entire team. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly kind, supportive, and reassuring.

I underwent a surgical wisdom tooth extraction where the tooth was still in the gum, done with only local anesthetic, so I was understandably very anxious. Dr. Tow was calm, professional, and took excellent care of me throughout the procedure, which made a huge difference.

I unfortunately developed dry socket afterward and had to return a few days later, but once again I was very well looked after. Dr. Tow took the time to check everything thoroughly and provided treatments to help with the healing and discomfort.

I highly recommend Los Angeles Oral and Facial Surgery — truly five-star care from start to finish.
